Prostitute Hanane Parry's body was discovered on July 20 this year. She had been murdered by a client and her dismembered body had been dumped in bin bags.

Hanane had turned to prostitution 18 months earlier. But how did a normal, happy child from Chester end up on the streets of Liverpool? RACHEL EATON spoke to Hanane's mother Diane Parry.

'TRIGGER, trigger, shoot the nigger.'

These were the words that haunted Hanane Parry.

The words she ran away from at 15 and kept on running from until she was murdered and found in pieces.

They are words her mother says helped to drive her from the family home and down a dangerous spiral of drugs and prostitution. And ultimately into the hands of a madman.

It is difficult to figure out who Diane Parry holds responsible for the death of her daughter: the teenagers who hounded her with racial abuse; the monster who strangled her; or herself, for forcing her to school as a child and not bringing off the streets.

'I wanted her to come home,' said Diane, of Warren Drive, Broughton. 'I thought when she was ready, maybe in months to come, maybe in years to come, she would turn around and say 'I have had enough of this life, I want to come home', but she didn't have the chance, he took it away from her.

'It feels as if I have a hole inside me and it's like cancer eating away at me and nobody can take that away.'

Hanane was a happy and carefree child. After her Libyan father left when she was 10 months old, Hanane and her mother developed a close bond. She was always a quiet girl, but when she reached high school her personality began to change.

'She became aggressive toward me, she used to swear at me and all sorts,' said Diane. 'She used to deliberately stay out till half 10 just so we'd have a big row. She'd get so upset I wouldn't send her to school the next day.

'I was just doing what I thought a good parent should do. I wanted a good education for my daughter. I knew some girls were picking on her, but I just thought it was teenage bitchiness.'

But a couple of years after she had left home Hanane revealed to her mum the extent of the abuse she received, and told her mother how she'd been hounded out of the area.

Diane said: 'It was grown men and a gang of girls, they threw stones at her. They would shout things like, 'trigger, trigger, shoot the nigger'. From being a loving, quiet, happy girl she changed.

'She was running from those girls, how do you deal with a life like that?'

At 15 Hanane left home - her mother was making her go to school, as any good mother would, but Hanane had had enough. She ran away and went to stay at the house of a friend. From there she jumped from hostel to hostel across North Wales.

During this time Hanane started taking drugs. She had a boyfriend who was sent to prison and drifted into the wrong crowd.

'In the hostel where she was staying she was fed a cocktail of drugs,' said Diane. 'She couldn't not take them when she was sitting in a room full of people who were taking them. It's because she was so trusting.'

During the next four years Hanane battled with an heroin addiction; at times she came off it and at one point returned home. But she couldn't bear the thought of her younger siblings seeing her take drugs so she left.

Some months later somebody took Hanane to Liverpool. There she discovered a way she could easily make enough money to support her habit.

Diane said: 'She phoned and said 'I'm in Liverpool, Mum', and I said 'oh no' and she said 'I survived on the streets in Rhyl, I can do it in Liverpool'.

'I am proud of her because she never stole from anybody, she never made anybody else suffer.

'When she first told me what she was doing I said to her 'what are you trying to do, kill yourself?' and she hung up. She said to me 'how do you pay for a hundred-pound-a-day drug habit?' And I couldn't answer that.

'I should have made her come home, but I didn't in the end. I thought 'I don't want her doing that'.

'I thought she might find somebody nice and think 'right that's it now'.'

On Friday, July 11, Hanane was working the streets in the Netherfield Road area of Liverpool. She was picked up by a 26-year-old man named Mark Corner. He took her to his flat and, after sex, strangled her. He hacked her body to bits and dumped the pieces in bin bags in an alleyway.

On December 10 schizophrenic Corner was ordered to be detained indefinitely after he admitted killing Hanane and another prostitute, Pauline Stephen. He will never be let out of the secure hospital where he is kept.

But Diane is furious he was allowed to walk the streets of Liverpool when his condition was known to the authorities.

She said: 'He is a monster, he doesn't have a name. No human being could do what he has done. I hate the man so much that I want to kill him.'

Diane is trying to put on a brave face for her children aged 13, 11 and eight.

She said: 'I feel destroyed as a mother, but I have to get on because I have got three others and I can't let them down, who's going to look after them?

'We're doing Christmas for the children, but I can't bear it.

'I can't face Christmas without her.'
